ἀναβολή [page 30] The word is used with a large variety of meanings. Thus P Amh II. 34 ( d ) .5 ( c. B.C. 157) ἐκθεῖναι τὴν κατάστασιν εἰς μηδεμίαν ἀναβολὴν ( without delay ) ποησαμένους : cf. Syll 425 .22 (iii/B.C.) ἀναβολὰν λαβόντες ἔτη τρία . In P Oxy IV. 729 .7 (A.D. 137) τὴν δ̣ὲ ἀν [α ]βολὴν ποιήσονται ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθίμων ἀναβολῶν , and P Goodsp Cairo 15 .9 (A.D. 362) τὴν ἀναβολὴν πεποίημαι , we have the same phrase as in Act_25:17 ( plus the article), but in a wholly different sense, to make an embankment. In P Tebt II. 378 .20 (A.D. 265) τοὺς [δι ]ωρύγων τε κ [αὶ ὑδ ]ραγωγῶν [ἀ ]ναβολάς is rendered by the editors banking up of canals and conduits, and probably a similar rendering, rather than dredging, should be given to P Amh II. 91 .11 (A.D. 159) ἀναβολὰς διωρύγω (ν ) : cf. CPHerm 41 χώμασι καὶ ἀναβολαῖς , and P Lond 1171 .60 (B.C. 8) (= III. p. 179) ἀναβολῆς ναυβίων (see on ἀναβάλλω , and Kenyon s note here). In P Oxy VI. 909 .25 (A.D. 225) τὴν προκειμένων ἀκανθῶν ἀναβολήν , the word is used in the unusual sense of digging up or uprooting (see the editors note). In P Tebt II. 413 .10 (ii/iii A.D.) the editors translate τέρα ἀνβ̣ο̣λ̣ὰ̣ ( l. τέσσαρας ἀναβολάς ), 4 bags, and compare P Oxy IV. 741 .14 (II/A.D.) where ἀναβολή , in the sense of ἀναβολίδιον , occurs next before προχείρια in a list of articles. Further in a legal document P Petr III. 21 ( g ) .21 (iii/B.C.) we have τῆς ἀναβ̣ολ̣ῆς το̣υ̣ͅ ἱμα̣τ̣ίο̣υ with hiatus before and after, so that we cannot certainly join the words. In P Thιad Inv. 15, a receipt of Constantine s time, those who grant the receipt name themselves ἀποδέκται λίηου τουυ τοῦ ἱεροῦ ἀναβολικοῦ , where Jouguet finds a reference to the linen for a military mantle ( ἀναβολικοῦ de ἀναβολή = ἀμβολή = abolla , etc. ) : but see Wilcken Archiv , iv. p. 185. [Supplemental from 1930 edition] See note ad P Oxy XII. 1480 .11 (A.D. 32).
